“…This has allowed the land evaluation method to be achieved through the decision-making concept utilizing several criteria which can be done spatially. The concept is not only useful for agriculture (Baja et al, 2007;Bandhyopadhyay et al, 2009), but also used for other sectors including forestry (Segura et al, 2014), industry (Rikalovic et al, 2014), tourism (Rozman et al, 2009), landfill site (Guiqin et al, 2009;Effat and Hegazy, 2012), parking site (Zucca et al, 2008) and environment (Comino et al, 2014).…”

Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Delineating Agricultural Land in Jakarta Metropolitan Area’s Hinterland: Case Study of Bogor Regency, West Java

2016

The hinterland of Jakarta has experienced high pressure in its land utilization due to Jakarta's rapid development. The objective of this research was to analyse the suitable land available for agriculture. The research was conducted in Bogor, a hinterland regency of Jakarta. The methodology used includes two steps of analysis, which are land suitability and land availability analysis. Land suitability for agriculture was analysed using multi-criteria decision making method. Seven (7) criteria were included, which consist of soil class, land capability class, slope, elevation, slope aspect, land use/land cover and distance to roads. The criteria were weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. Combining criteria weights and sub-criteria scores, an overlay model in Geographic Information System was applied. The result from land suitability analysis was used as a feed for determining land availability, considering the forest area status and land allocation in the official spatial land use plan. The results indicate that an area amounting to 87.5% of Bogor Regency is suitable for agriculture. Land which is suitable and available for agriculture is 16.7% of the regency's area. Considering available land which is currently in use, the area that can be allocated for the expansion of agriculture is 3.3%.

“…It can however create environmental problem if it is not properly handled or sited (Guiqin et al, 2009). This is the reason why some have considered the method as difficult, complex or tedious (Gbanie et al, 2013;Chang et al, 2008).…”

This study employed the use of multi-criteria decision approach to identify the most suitable site for a solid waste disposal facility in Ethiope East, Nigeria. Nine decision criteria which were selected based on the characteristics of the area were investigated and ranked for ten different locations. The result of the hydro-geophysical criteria showed that the protective capacity of the aquitard in the survey area ranged from poor to weak. This is an indication that the siting of a solid waste disposal facility in the study area must follow acceptable standards to guide against exposing the groundwater to avoidable pollution. The analysis of the result showed that Samagidi, Isiokoro and Eku ranked highest with a value of 72, 70 and 70 respectively. The result also revealed that Samagidi is the most centralised site among the three locations that ranked highest. Hence it is recommended that a solid waste disposal facility to serve the people of Ethiope East Local Government Area be established in Samagidi.

“…So, finding suitable land fill site is one of the most significant tasks in SWM (3,4). Recently, there have been different methods reported for landfill site selection such as overlaying GIS digital maps (5,6), integration of fuzzy methodology and GIS (7)(8)(9), weight linear combination (WLC) method and spatial cluster analysis (SCA) (10), combination MCA and GIS methodology (11,12), Integration of GIS and AHP (7,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and Intelligent System (19). Siting a landfill requires a combination of social, environmental and technical parameters to locate the areas that will minimize public concerns over health and environmental impacts and will be cost-effective (12).…”

“…Using the conventional methods for land fill siting would be difficult and complex, since various factors have to be considered (20). In order to consider all factors in landfill siting process, Geographic Information System (GIS) is a powerful option due to its capability in handling and management of spatial and attributive data (13,17,21,22). In many cases, allocating the relative weights for the different criteria involved in making a decision on suitability of land mapping unit for a land-use type is very difficult.…”

Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Site Selection using Analytical Hierarchy Process Method and Geographic Information System in Abadan, Iran

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and purpose: An appropriate solid waste (SW) disposal has been a major problem in municipal environment. The use of landfills is the most economical and environmentally acceptable method for the disposal of SWs all over the world. However, landfill leachate can cause environmental issues such as soil and ground water pollution. So, finding suitable land fill site is one of the most significant tasks in SWM. In this study, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method were used for Abadan solid waste landfill site selection. Materials and Methods:Six criteria were used in this study comprise distance from aquatic ecosystem, risk, residential, economical, geographical and social criteria. Each criterion weighted by using AHP method. After omission of inappropriate areas, the suitability examination of the residue areas was accomplished using GIS. Results:Relative importance weight of each criterion and score value of sub-criteria in the GIS environment was determined and finally suitability map was prepared. Based on the final suitability map, appropriate solid waste landfill site was located in north part of the study area. Conclusion:The combination of AHP method with GIS in our experiment proves it is a powerful tool for solid waste landfill site selection.
